THE MONEY MARKET Less effect than was anticipated appears to have followed the advance by the Bank Directors of the rate of interest. As money is to be obtained at present on lower terms elsewhere, it merely tends to keep the discount and the cashier's office without applicants. Looking to its effect on the circulation, it is calculated by persons who are well acquainted with this department of the Bank transactions, that if the whole of their discount business were taken away, it would not diminish the circulation by more than 1,500,0001. or 2,000,0001. Times. The increase in the rate of discounts by the Bank of Eng land continues to be the subject of discussion in the City, and notwithstanding the prognostication that a panic would inevi tably follow, Consols for Money and Account have not only not receded below the quotations of yesterday, but have ac tually advanced to within a mere fraction of the prices realized before the determination of the Directors was make known yesterday. Consols for Money have risen this after noon to 91, sellers, and for the Account to at which price business ceased this afternoon. The improving condition of the foreign exchanges had some influence upon prices. As might have been expected, the premium upon the unfunded debt has been materially affected by the increase in the rate of discount by the Bank of England, Exchequer Bills yielding a rate of interest so much below that which is now demanded by the Bank of England.—Morning Advertiser. The decision of the Bank parlour yesterday continues to be the object of the deepest interest amongst the commercial cir cles here; and the determination of that incapable body, the Bank Corporation, to raise the rate of interest on loans, &c., at the period of the soundest general prosperity which this country has experienced since the termination of the war, has created the greatest disgust and distrust in their power to sus tain the monopoly of the circulating medium of this country. We have held a consistent opinion that this country will never be relieved from a participation of the danger to which the Bank of England is and must be perpetually exposed, until we return again to a silver standard. We are not single in that opinion, since we declare that there are those in existence, who can prove that the Bank Direction, as a body, have been with in reach of the powers of the Insolvent Commissioners repeat edly during the last ten years.—Morning Herald. The effect of the Bank notices issued yesterday continues to be felt at the Stock Exchange, for although no just excep tion can apparently be taken to the measures adopted by the Directors, in order to reduce the amount of their circulation, and thereby to check in some degree the exportation of the precious metals, those measures are freely commented upon by parties interested in the matter, and it is apprehended by individuals engaged in money transactions that an undue im portance may in consequence be attached to the notices in question in the manufacturing districts and in other parts of the country. Consols were first quoted this morning at the final rates of yesterday, but there was apparently rather more confidence in the stability of the Market towards the close.— Morning Post. SEARCH for the ABSENT WHALERS. The following are the particulars given of the voyage of the Cove, by Captain Ross. While the Cove was at Stromness on her outward course, Captain Ross received intimation from the Admiralty of the ar rival of the Abrain of Hull, and of her having drifted south ward with the pack to the 54th degree of north latitude. In consequence of this information he deemed it expedient to de part to a certain extent from the instructions of the Admiralty. Accordingly, he made for the pack-edge in the above-mentioned latitude, but owing to unfavourable weather, he did not succeed in gaining it until the 7th of April. Between that date and 27th of May, Captain Ross made a careful examination of the main pack-edge between the 54th and 65th degrees of latitude, and failing to discover any traces of the Lady Jane or Wil liam Torr, he stood over to Holsteinburg, for the purpose of falling in with the bomb vessel which he expected to join him there on the Ist of June. Here the Cove remained for some days, obtaining a supply of water, and completing the requisite repairs. The Undaunted of Kirkaldy had previously an nounced to Captain Ross the arrival of the Lady Jane in England ; but of the William Torr no tidings could be pro cured. The Terror bomb vessel not appearing, the Cove proceeded to Whale-fish Islands, the last-appointed rendezvous for the Terror, and arrived there on the 14th of June. On the 19th of the same month the commander received a communi cation from the Admiralty, intimating that in consequence of the arrival of the Abram, and of a statement made by Mr. Wil liam Tather, master of the Jane, the sailing of the Terror had been countermanded as unnecessary. Captain Ross was di rected to proceed homewards, after making every practicable endeavour to relieve the William Torr, in the quarter where he might consider her most likely to be found, on receiving the additional information. Though regretting that he had not the means of penetrating to the west land of Baffin's Bay, the commander, guided by the statement of Mr. Ta. ther—that the William Torr was seen on the 16th October 45 miles S. E. of Cape Searle, and drifting to the south ward—deemed it his duty to advance to the quarter thus de. cidedly indicated, and thence endeavour to prosecute his in quiries at one of the northern settlements on the coast of La brador. Before his departure he proceeded through the Way gatz Strait, for the purpose of communicating with the whaling ships to the northward. On the Ist of July, he reached Fore-Island Point, in lat. 70. 40 N., and long. 67 W., where he found about fifty vessels detained by the ice. Re passing the Waygatz Strait, he bore to the westward, and reached the packing, lat. 69 N., and long. 571 W., and gained the spot where the William Torr was alleged to have been last seen on the 13th of July. A careful examination of the pack was made at this place. On the 14th of July, the Cove fell in with three whalers, the Eclipse, Commerce, and Resolution, the masters of which vessels, as well as those to the north ward, gave the most solemn assurances that, although they believed the William Torr to be to the southward, still they would use their best endeavours to examine the whole of the west land for the crew. In the face of many difficulties aris ing from foggy weather and heavy south-easterly ;swells, Capt. J. Ross persevered in exploring the pack to the southward. His progress was impeded by a barrier of heavy and extensive floes driftingito the southward, at a distance of from fifty to seventy miles from the land. After many ineffectual at tempts to penetrate this barrier, he at last succeeded in again entering the pack, and in advancing through it, to the settlement of Okkah, in lat. 57i N., where it was hoped that the missionaries of " Unitas Fratrum," resident at that place, would be able to communicate some information respecting the William Torr. No account, however, of that vessel or the crew could be given by the missionaries, who declared that it was impossible for any ship, or the crew of any ship, to have approached that shore to the north or south, within 300 miles of the settlement without their being speedily ap prized of the fact. Under all the circumstances—having closely examined the pack from the 54th to the 69th degree of north latitude—it appeared to Captain Ross that all that the vessel under his command was capable of effecting bad been accomplished. Presuming upon the correctness of the information furnished by Mr. Tather, he feared that the William Torr—if she had not returned to England—had been wrecked in the pack ; but he still indulged the hope that she had wintered on the west coast of Baffin's Bay, in which case her crew would most certainly have been discovered by some of the whale ships. The Cove weighed anchor on the 4th of August, passed through Pentland Frith on the 19th ult., and arrived in sound condition, and with all hands in perfect health, after a most perilous and, we grieve to add, an unsuccessful service. Despatches, containing the above information, having been forwarded to the Lords of the Admiralty by Captain J. C. Ross, immediately upon his arrival, their Lordships have transmitted to him a reply, in which they express their satis faction at the zeal and judgment displayed by him in the exe cution of the duty confided to him, as well as at the good conduct and activity of the officers and men under his corn- mand.—Hull Obse,ver. On Thursday the Court of Examiners of Apothe caries' Hall granted certificates of qualification to the follow ing individuals :—William Henry Dry, of Oxford: Nathaniel Coats, of Ilfracombe ; Stephen Lunn Muller, of Old Kent. road ; William Palmer Gillanders, of Brighton ; Frederick Cauet ; William Joshua Jefferies Dowlin, of Cork ; Henry Francis Burdett, of Gilmorton ; John Levet Benson, of Norton. HIGHWAY ROBBERS.—On Thursday evening, the 25th ult., Mr. Whal, of Botley, Hants, was stopped on Winter's hill-common, near Bishop's Waltham, by three men, one of whom seized his horse, and the others dragged him from his seat to the ground, and then rifled his pockets of a purse with some silver and a silver pencil-case, with which they made off. They have been traced to Farnham, proceeding in a di rection for London, having with them a sailor's long canvass bag. Fifty pounds reward has been offered for the apprehen sion of the offenders. THE HARVEST.—Much of the wheat has been housed in tolerable condition, and a week of fine weather will probably clear all the fields in this neighbourhood. The pro duce is unequal in quantity—the ears in some places being light, and in others large and full. The barley generally comes to hand pretty fairly, but the oats are not quite so good, except on favourite grounds. The peas have been nearly all har vested. The beans by no means so promising in bulk, hav ing generally suffered from the unfavourable season. AMERICAN COTTON CROPS.—The following par ticulars relative to the condition and prospects of the cotton crops in the United States are contained in the last advices received from thence :--Of the crop of 1835 there had been received up to the middle of last month about 1,296,000 bales, and about 41,500 more were expected, making a total of 1,337,500 bales for the last year's produce. There had been shipped off of this amount for foreign ports, from New Orleans, 333,000 bales ; an d 169,000 bales from other 360,000 bales ; 14g,500 bales ; Savannah and Char leston,arts of the Union, making a total of 1,010,500 bales, and leaving 327,000 bales in the country. Allowing about 234,000 bales consumed in the United States, the stock available for ship ment in the middle of last month was calculated at about 93,600 bales. It was anticipated that before the Ist of Oc tober next, the date at which the returns are generally com menced, there would be exported 45,000 bales, leaving about 48,000 bales on hand previously to the receipt of the new crop. The present advices mention that th e accounts f rom the eottenr.gfoifin Mates lead t o t h e expectation that the next crop would realise Pbl44t 14049 bales, provided no casualties arise to frustrate the ht)pes pf thp iirpvip Fo l le fore the plant arrived at perfection.

" SENORA—Under the present difficult circumstances with which we are beset, the paramount duty of your Majesty's Government is to assemble the national repre sentation, which is the firmest support of the throne of your august (laughter, the strongest tie of society, the most cer. tain organ of the nation's wants, the depository of the hest means of satisfying them, and the most powerful auxiliary of the Administration. " The rapidity with which events have progressed has rendered it impossible to open the session of the Cortes, convoked for the 20th of the present month, by the Royal decree of the 24th of May. Since the object for which they had been summoned no longer exists, and since the Consti tution, of which your Majesty ordered the proclamation by your decree of the I.lth inst., fixes the mode to he adopted for the formation of the national representative body, con sequently the convocation of the Cortes in conformity with the disposition, contained in the Constitution, causing them to meet at an early period, invested with all the rights re quired by their extraordinary mission, such are the obj ec t s your Majesty's Ministers had i n view in drawing up the decree herewith, which they have the honour to submit to the sanction of your Majesty. " In the text of the Constitution the particular days for holding the electoral assemblies are fixed at long intervals. The present circumstances not admitting this delay, it was indispensable that . the Royal authority should intervene to remove them. In the year 1820 the country was in the same predicament, and prudence suggested the same line to be followed, which was attended with good consequences. The urgency of getting the Cortes together is now greater, and there is a necessity of taking advantage of the division of the kingdom into provinces and districts more regular and more limited, by which means the elec toral operations must be accelerated." The exposicion then states the short period fixed for the meeting of the different electoral assemblies, as stated in article Bof decree of convocation given above. It then alludes to the time that must elapse ere the result of elec tions in the Canaries and other islands be known. It states difficulties of another kind obvious to every one, with respect to Deputies to be chosen for the insurgent provinces, and concludes by deeming it better to follow the system lately followed in both cases. With respect to the provinces beyond sea, it should have liked to adopt the plan followed in 1820, viz., that the colonists at present in the peninsula should elect Deputies ad in terinz. But this it declares inadmissible at present, when so serious a question as the revision of the fundamental law is to be discussed. The salary to be given to Deputies, according to Art. 102 of the Constitution, was another delicate point, which it was proposed to leave open to the Cortes themselves to determine. The document then proceeds as follows : " The difficulties in the way of an immediate assemblinfr of the Cortes having been got over, it is necessary to point out the alterations made in its attribution and composition. Your Majesty has proclaimed, by your decree of the 13th, that the Constitution of 1812 should be sworn to, until the Cortes might meet to declare whether the nation preferred it, or any other suited to the wants of the time. " This resolution, which was required by the national wish, from the generous sentiments of her Majesty, must be completely satisfactory to all those persons who view all the dispositions Gf that Constitution with a superstitious veneration. If the framers of that Constitution thought it advisable to fix certain formalities and certain disposi tions for its revision, it was because they thought that its continuation in force would not be broken off, and that, moreover, they could not foresee all the wants which might occur. If they required a delay of eight years from the time that the Constitution should be in force in all its parts, twenty-four years have already elapsed since its first publication. If the object of those restrictions was to allow the experience acquired by time to carry into effect the ameliorations in the fundamental law, the contrast of poli tical vicissitudes which we have suffered, and the experience of the various representative systems, have taught us much more than would have done the quiet possession of either the one or the other of those systems. In short, if the Constitution is not looked upon as merely a political insti tution, but as a monument of glory, there is not an en lightened Spaniard who is not alive to its imperfections, the unavoidable consequence of the fatal circumstances existing at the time of its adoption, and who would longer deprive our unfortunate country of the fruits to be derived from our misfortune, and of the immense progress made by every civilized nation in moral and political science. From this, your Majesty, results the necessity of introducing some change in the oath to be taken by the Deputies in the next preparatory Junta of the Cortes in the powers which they are to derive from the most illimited influence. " Your Majesty's Ministers have thought it advisable to introduce another alteration in the projected decree. Though this alteration _seems in some degree contrary to the literal sense of Article 31 of the Constitution, it is per fectly conformable to its spirit. " In the instructions given by the Supreme Central Junta for the election of Deputies to the Extraordinary Cortes, it was said that one Procuradore should be named for every 5,000 souls ; but the same proportion was ob- tained by including the Deputies for our colonial posses sions. The Cortes convoked by the &allay Real adopted the same basis as the Constitution, but the principal of the Central Junta was re-established without opposition, after the two debates on the electoral law in the Chamber of Procuradores. " These facts show that the Congress established in vir tue of the Constitution was to be composed of a gre a t er number of voters, in consequence of those representin g all our America, than that now proposed in the proportion o f one Deputy for each 5,000 souls. This is precisely th e basis constantly adopted by the Cortes when they have be come a revising body. The deliberating body must be suf ficiently numerous to be able to maintain the independence which is absolutely necessary. " If these reasons dispose your Majesty to approve the project of decree, which an ardent zeal for the good and glory of our country has alone dictated, the throne will in the short space of two months be surrounded by the na tional representation, consisting of the Spaniards most dis tinguished for their patriotism, probity, and talent ; men who will be the faithful organs of the nation's love and gra titude to your Majesty's self ; men who know what the country requires : they will secure our rights and establish a strong and vigorous monarchy. They will also secure their countrymen from arbitrary rule, by giving to the laws, and to those who execute them, the force necessary for re pressing disorders and abuses. They will prove themselves jealous guardians of the national independence, and justly appreciate how much it is requisite for us to preserve the bonds of friendship and confidence between us and our allies.

"THE QUEEN REGENT TO THE SPANISH NATION. " Spaniards I—The aspect and character presented at first by the late events led me to suppose them to be merely isolated movements, sprung from interests and individual passion, or produced by passing and factitious effervescence. Under this persuasion I laboured, as was my duty. to pre serve the established order of things, and to follow up the plan of political reform in conformity to what was considered to be the public opinion. Thus did I act, and should have continued to act, had not a more express and general mani festation of opinion disclosed the full scope of your desires. Declarations in favour of the Constitution of Cadiz ha vin g taken place in the provinces of Andalusia, in those of Arra gon, and the great movement communicating itself to Es tremadura and Castile, repressed with difficulty in the ca pital, and the reluctance which the brave soldiers felt in keeping down the ardour of the people, with whom they sympathise, convinced me at last of what was the national will. Therefore, not wishing to occasion new troubles or disasters, I took the oath to the Constitution of 1812, and ordered it to published and sworn to throughout the king dom. " I am not ignorant, Spaniards, o f th e o bje c tions made both within and without the kin g d om t o thi s f am ous code ; but far from offering itself as p er f ec t, th e ver y code ex presses the supposition and the mode of its reform. Nor is there a prudent man, even am ongs t th ose most a ttached to the Constitution, who is not convinced of the necessity of its being reformed. The provin ces w hi c h proc l a i m it have done so, with the proviso that it shall be subject to the emendations of the Cortes. Let m e h ope t h at th e Cortes, which I convoke at this moment f or so no bl e an en d, will complete this indispensable and desi re d reform, MOP pot, Spaniards, that it td IntpCiPd augment prerngatives, or give force to odious privileges, but this is done with a view to public order and general utility, consulting the exi gencies of the country, and preserving h armon y w ith the general principles of European liberty. Then what was once the fundamental law of the St a t e b ecomes once more so. There is no do is doubting that it was ev er the object of your efforts and desires. Th e p o li t i ca l Constitu tion of 1812, Spaniards, a monument of nati o n a l dignity and independence. You framed it, you vowe d fidelity to it, end you were victorious under its auspices, ex pelling tip 'eatilt?.§ PP MqPP!CP,n , §Reve4 Neither time, nor malignity, nor rolitig can ever abate its glory ; nor have all the cruel alterations which you have suffered erased its character of fire from your breasts. Though it appeared annihilated, it has resuscitated itself before the eyes of the astonished universe. Long live the Constitution, Spaniards, as a standard of victory in the present as it has been in the past conflict I Manifest to Europe and to your detractors, your love of this Constitu tion and your ability to defend it—the result. cannot be doubtful. Your strength will acqui re a new energy, not ° only in combating but in supporting sacrifices. The enemy, who imagine that Constitution may prove an element of dissolution, shall be disappointed. The redoubled impetus with which you will attack the foe, shall prove to him that the late generous movements tend to nothing other than its destrUction. I hope so much of this magnanimous nation. Your good sense and your virtues inspire me with full con fidence. The throne of my august daughter, indeed, in stead of losing by the late innovations, will, on the con trary, be but the more strongly based in your affections ; just as the natural impulse of 1812 was not only one of liberty, but of loyal enthusiasm for the King, at that time a captive. " 0 Spaniards! May the political law which we now swear be a pledge of union and concord. In this union consists your force ; and in your force consists mine. "MARIA CHRISTINA. " From the Palace, Aug. 22, 1836." The electoral system, as established by the Constitution of 1812, is very complicated, and very far from being as favourable to the people as that by which the late elections were conducted. In the first place, the inhabitants of each parish assemble and elect a certain number of Commissioners, according to the population of the parish, but the number cannot in any case exceed thirty-one. These Commissioners choose in their turn the parochial electors. If the population be under 300 one elector alone is to be chosen, if above that number two, if above 500, and under 600, three, and so on progressively. The parochial electors are then required to meet in the capital of each judicial district or partedo, for the purpose of choosing the electors for the district ; each judicial dis trict or partedo is to return a number of electors equal to triple the number of Deputies to be returned by the pro vince. The electors for each judicial district assemble in the capital of the province for the purpose of naming the Depu ties which it has a right to return. According to the old Constitution a Deputy was to be chosen for every 70,000 inhabitants ; but the present decree of convocation deter mines that there shall be a Deputy for every 50,000, and an additional Deputy whenever there may be a surplus population of 25,000 souls. The following is the official table : Population. Deputies. B ta u f: i crt t e o n .

The number of Supplementary Deputies is fixed at one-third part of the total number of Deputies returned to the Cortes. It follows from the above statement, that the total num bers of electors, directly influencing the elections, will only amount to 723, or three times the number of Deputies returned. The Cortes are to meet on the 24th of October. The Convoy which was to leave Madrid yesterday for Valladolid, Burgos, and Vittoria, has been delayed until the 26th instant, in consequence, says the General Order of yesterday, of the occupation of Placencia by the fac tious. It is believed here that Gomez has entered Na varre with his booty, and that the detachnient at Placencia is commanded by one of his Lieutenants. Yesterday even ing a division of 4,000 men marched from this on the road to Guadalajara, to attack the faction which is in that direc tion, and which has again intercepted the French mail, the three mails due not having arrived until half-past four yes terday afternoon. The force which has marched, is com posed of a battalion of the 3d Regiment of the Guard, one of the 4th, another of the Queen Regent ' s Light Infantry, another of the Provincial R o y a l Guard, with a detachment of cavalry and artillery. It appears to be the intention of the Government to remove the garrison altogether, and confide the service of th e pl ace to t h e National Guard. Many think that there would be then a better chance of preserving tranquillity. The last two days have been re markably tranquil. SWITZERLAND. BERNE, AUG. 22.—Switzerland was always divided be tween two interests. M. de Bombelles, the Austrian Am bassador, was all-powerful in Zurich, and the French inte rest prevailed at Berne. As long as M. de Rumigny was the French Ambassador, the leading men of Berne, and certainly much to the detriment of their popularity and in fluence, followed implicitly all the hints and orders of the French Cabinet. But the fatuity and arrogance of his suc cessor, the Duke of Montebello, have produced a rapid change. Wherever he appeared in public, he affected to ridicule the Swiss people and their authorities by saying the people would never stir to defend either their constitutions or the authorities whom they had elected. His having threatened Switzerland with a " hermetical" blockade if the Diet did not immediately drive away all the foreigners whose presence displeased the French and German Go vernments, was already an open violation of our national independence. The note wherein he signified the final in tentions of his Government, was couched in the most ar rogant terms ; but, as if all this h a d no t b een enoug h , he broke e ven th most common rules of decency by going in the midst of the night into the house of the President of the Diet, and making him rise from his bed, in order to communicate to him the contents of his note. It was chiefly the revelation of all those circumstances which roused the indignation of the people in the public meetings, as you can easily see from the resolutions which were pa&sod at the meeting at Reiden, anwhich I subjoin ; " The confederates of the cantons of Berne, Lucerne, Schwitz, Solothurn, Basle, and Argau declare unanimously— " 1. That they will resist any intervention of the foreign diplomacy in Switzerland as a violation of the honour, liberty, and independence of the Swiss nation i that they are determined to sacrifice their fortunes and lives to second the constitutional authorities of Switzerland in their efforts to maintain the precious rights which they have inherited from their forefathers ; and that any other conduct appears ignominious to them. " 2. Th at they consider, especially, the meal of the French A m b assador, Duke de Montebello, as a matter Of great u rgency, as this diplomate ha; lost the eenfikVozia the natio n b y hi s affectation of pretMclikliit tha4 the people would n o t d e f end the eamititiOigns which they have grveu to themselvesr CP% the, authorities whom they have elected ; Rild IV his want of respect shown to the President of the Piet, and w h om he surprised by a nocturnal visit t and, above all, by his pr o t ens i ms of interfering in our national " 3, That they cons id er the sacortmrifice of their cantonal in terests to th e common weal of th i s country as th e most appropriate m eans to deliver Sw i tzer l an d f rom f ore i gn exi gencies ; and that, in consequence, they desire to see the vicious A ct of 1815 replaced by a federal constitution, which may enable Switzerland to present itslo as Re na tion in face of the foreign tAwcll:l3 the'y ft9l . th him, a Nan %v i m had taken Ayvi rf,sgiuticm4 peen passed, the KQelltler, as a leading part i n th e events by which Basle country separated itself from Basle town, ;-‘ r proposed Ourtu resolution to nearly this tenor : ic That, as the Diet wh a t i t h ad to do, the peop l e found it convenient foreign P owe r s thought convenient t o di c t ate to to declare to the Diet, that if within four weeks it did not revise and amend the Federal Act of 1815, the people would take up arms." Pfyffer, of Lucerne, however, who • presided at the meeting, dissolved it immediately upon this proposition having been made and cheered by the assembly. The affair of Conseil begins to turn out as the result of the jealousy between the Austrian and French Ambassa dors. It was a spy of M. de Ilornbell es , ca ll e d B art h o l a, who got hold of Conseil and induced him to betray his master, and to give into his hands all his papers : the plot being thus revealed, he took care to give to it the greatest publicity, which engaged the prefet of Nidau to arrest them both. On the other side it is thought, that durin g all this time the Duke de Montebello was busied in playin g exactly the same trick upon M. de Bombelles. He was equally successful, for the Duke de Montebello was a principal party in assisting to discover the real quality and name of Baron von Eib. These intrigues might seem very amusing at anothe r period. But our country is in a terrible situation. The leading men and our authorities, instead of relying upon the nation, have sought strength from foreign influence, and lost all their power and consideration through those diplo matical intrigues. We are threatened both with foreign invasion and internal commotion ; wherever we look, we discover party divisions and want of organization. We are exactly in the cir c um s t ances w hich preceded the partition of Poland. Heaven forbid that we should share the same fate! The following from Berne is of the 2Gth ult. : The Diet has been to-day engaged in the discussion of the Con cor d a t p ropose d b y Z ur i c h f or regu l ating in fu ture the admission of refugees into Switzerland, the conclu sum already adopted applying only to the past and the pre sent. The following are the terms of the new measure— " The Cantons, seeing the criminal plots of which a cer tain number of political refugees and other foreigners have lately been guilty—being agreed to prevent in the future, by measures taken in common, a repetition of similar disor ders, reserving at the same time to each canton, so far as concerns the admission and residence, or expulsion of fo reigners, the right of acting as it may deem right, are agreed upon the following points :- 1,. The cantons will take care that there shall not be tolerated within their respective territory, under the name of refugees, any persons who are known to be ordinary cri minals or vagabonds. To this end the central police fthe canton, whenever a foreigner arrives without regular pass ports, and demands permission to reside within it, shall cause a summary inquiry to be made as to his identity, and the cause and manner of his flight ; and such permission shall not be given until after such inquiry. 2. The expulsion of a foreigner ordered by the Govern ment of a Canton from sufficient motive, shall be executed in the following manner :—The person to be expelled shall, with the concurrence of the federal Directory, be con ducted to the Swiss frontier, and be delivered into the hands of the authorities of the neighbouring State, with which an understanding shall be come to in this respect. The delivery shall, nevertheless, be made solely with the view of insuring the non-return of the individual in ques tion, but never in the sense of delivering up to justice, un, less with the express intention of the Cantonal Government. 3. The Cantons admit the following as motives which ought (but without prejudice to the action of justice against the individual in question) to oblige them to expel a foreigner under Article 2, and as giving them a right to proceed in the mode prescribed, namely, in the case where a foreigner enters into a secret association tending to the commission of crime, the undertaking of violent enterprises against a foreign State, also when he concurs in any other menner in such acts, or takes part in meetings having such objects : likewise when a foreigner assumes a false name, or gives any other false indications, in order to obtain permission to reside in the Canton. 4. When expulsion is ordered by a Cantonal Govern ment from other motives than those above pointed out, the Federal Directory shall decide upon a demand to be made by the said Government, after having having considered the motives alleged, and declare whether it will proceed accord ing to the mode pointed out by Article 2, or whether it will leave the case in the hands of the Canton. 5. The Cantons engage to take care that they will not grant permission to reside, or rights of citizenship, to any foreigners who, according to Articles 3 and 4, sti,ail have merited, either before or after the conclusion of the present. Concordat, expulsion from the Confederation. 6. This present Concordat shall come into force on the Ist January, 1837, for such States as shall before that pe riod signify their accession to the Federal Directory. The duration of the Concordat shall be five years. " After a debate of some length upon the general princi ples of the measure, the Diet proceeded to the consideration of each article separately. The first article was adopted without amendment by twelve States. The second article was adopted by twelve States, with an amendment proposed by Basle country, which required that the word Canton' should take the place of that of 4 Government of a Can ton,' and another by Schaffhausen, declaring that the ex pulsion of refugees should be at the expense of the Canton requiring it. The third was adopted with an amendment by Vaud, declaring that the production of false passports should be a sufficient ground for expulsion. The fourth was adopted by thirteen cantons, with an additional clause, proposed by Schaffhausen, declaring that each Canton should make known to the rest the names of the per sons to whom they granted an asylum. The fifth and sixth were adopted without amendment. In the ques tion upon the ensemble of the project, Zurich and Lu cerne voted in its favour, on condition of its ratification. The other States voted for the Referendum, with the ex ception of St. Gall and Glaris, which were against any Concordat whatever. The Directory will communicate the project to the States, requiring them to signify their decisions on the subject. Appenzell (It. E.) will not ratify the Clone/usunt of August 11, because it contains principles which tend to render the Diet the mere executive power of the Directory. Vaud has repeated its demand that the in quiries made at Zurich nod Berne, in the affair of the re fugees, be communicated to the States, in order that the truth may be made known, and the suspicions thrown out upo❑ certain magistrates and other persons may be cleared up. The Deputies for Zurich and Berne promise that the extracts required for this publication shall be communicated by their respective Governments. On Monday next the Diet will enter upon the discussion of the answer to be given to the Duke of Montebello's note."--21/Orning Paper. GERMAN COMMERCIAL UNION. The following extract is fre*.n a German paper, which reached us last night by the - Hamburg mail : "Munich, Aug. 19. " Some journals have lately stated that there is an En glish envoy hem to enter into negotiations with the Com missioners of the Commercial Union, as there is a Belgian envoy at Berlin for the same purpose. Such negociations can, of course, aim at nothing but some reciprocal faci lities in commerce, as the German Union can receive only German States. " What instructions this English envoy may have are unknown here ; however, he can in no case enter into any direct communication with the Commissioners of the Com mercial Union, because they have the subject of their dis cussions positively laid down, and have neither vocation nor authority to enter into negotiations of any kind with a fo reign state. We, however, consider it as an advantage that the l3ritish Ministry, becoming more and more sensible of the importance of the German Commercial Union, has sent hither Mr. John M'Gregor, a man of established reputation as a political economist, to make the views of that Government better known in Germany, and occasionally to advocate them, and gradually come to an understanding which may lead to the conclusion of a treaty. Mr. M'Gregor has bee n zealously endeavouring for these three years to reprr,sent to the English the true nature of the German Commercial Union, and the erroneous idea of the party of the Portfolio, which latter, confounding the commercial with the political question, endeavoured to prove that the invisible hand of Russia is behind the German Commercial Union, seeking to establish a second Europc,an continental system against England, while in the East it is in a similar manner spread ing its note against that power. This, notion, which is rather extravagant in respect to the German Commercial Union, would never have been able to gain such ground in England, had it not been supported by the equally erroneous idea that the Commercial Union was founded on a prohi bitory system ; a reproach which, it is notorious, may even now be brought with tenfold more reason against the British commercial system, while France seems more inclined to retrograde than to make conce ss i ons in the_ . of a more liberal and enlightened commercial policy. —Hamb urg Papers, Augra4 _______.„...........

SPIRIT OF THE PUtt'L i•. ; • When Mr. Canning was urg4;lo - nslst_: . ..nriii te withdrawal of the French troopsliCinii-Vafter the disastrous expedition of 1823, his reply wad, "" They know little of the feclins of the French Government, and of the spirit of the French nation, who do not know that, v.-ot thless or burdensome as that occupation may he, the way to rivet her in it would be, by angry or intemperate representations, to make the continuance of that occupation a point of honour." In recurring to the subject of the ill-advised dismissal of M. Tillers from office, we have no desire to provoke a display of this national characteristic, and, by " angry or intem perate reprer;entations," to make perseverance in error " a point of honour" with the King of the French. W e said that Louis Philippe had dismissed his late Minister because he would not consent to become the instrument of the violation or the evasion—the differ ence is •immaterial—of the Quadruple Treaty. This statement can only be refuted by the policy of the new Administration. Should M. Mole nominally, Louis Phillippe in reality, consider it a "point of honour" to persevere in trampling on the stipulations of the Quadru ple treaty instead of taking advantage of the locus Pe netentice still o p en , can either Minister or King shut his eyes to the immediate or more remote consP quences of this political infidelity ? Passing over the stain thus cast upon the national honour of France, for the protection of which its Sovereign seems to invite a most unconstitutional responsibility, a complete divorce from his Western alliance must be the next step in the career of the French King. The confederation of free Governments formed as a counterbalanc e to the Holy Alliance, if it exist at all, must exist for prac tical purposes. To maintain the liberal institutions already already established was a principal object of al liance ; and to no Power that was a party to it could its operation have been more beneficial than to Louis Philippe. It would now, perhaps, be but a questionable recommendation of that 'ulna. ance to the people of France, to tell them that its first effect has been to consolidate the dy nasty of their present Sovereign. Yet sti.ch is the unquestioned fact. When the new-born rionarchy of France stood alone among the other nations of Eu rope, an object of suspicion to those wb'o looked with jealousy and apprehension upon its dr_;mocratic origin, England became its first, its firmest , and most disinte rested ally. I n th e kindred lih.e'zality of our Govern ment, and the warm sympathi r.s of our people, the new institutions o f France four-,d that support of which, it is no disparagement to them to say, they stood in need—without which, when least able to withstand them, they must have been exposed to the undiguised assaults cf the despotic sovereigns by whom they were menaced. The alliance with England, Spain, and Portugal was, however, to France less a present secu rity than it was calculated to be a source of future ad vantage. France cannot stand an isolated, unallied country. Her very geographical position forbids it. Between the powers of the North and of the West she must make her election. By none is the great talent, th e shrewdness, a. - od, in gen era l, th e cear sighted policy of Louis Philippe more fully or more freely recorsolzed than by ourselves. But even he inistr.ees the spirit of his people, if he suppose tha% t h ey would look unmoved upon such a spectacle of national degradation as would be exhibited in tiv unnatural connection between France and the despotisms of the North. Louis Philippe would most probably purchase his admission into the family of the Holy Alliance at the costly price of his crown. France requires from her King an abandonment of, not a per severance in, the policy of resistance, and a Northern. alliance involves—the French people know that it ine vitably involves—a considerable sacrifice of whatever freedom they at present enjoy. This is literally the fact—that the King of the French does not hesitate to offer the liberties of his people as a marriage portion with his son. Both the King that makes, and he that would accept the proposal, may be well assured that such a dowry never will be paid. It is clear, then, that even if forgetful of the past, his interest, and an expediency almost amounting to necessity, point out to Louis Philippe the policy of cementing the alliance of which the Quadruple Treaty may be regarded as the basis. This can alone be done by givin g effect to its stip u h t i ons i n t h e manner proposed by Mr. Theirs. We observe that a portion of the French Press reitzrate the assertion—f or argument they offer none---which we refuted a few days since, that the proposal of M. niers would amount to in tervention. We have but to repeat that it does not. All that M. Theirs asked, all that the Spanish Go vernment or the British G overmnent ask, is that France should give the co-operation guaranteed by the treaty. It is utterly untenable to say that the al tered aspect of affairs in Spain justifies an aban donment of their obligation by her allies. Louis Philippe does not—we know he does not —approve of the Constitution of 1812. As little did the English Government, when it sent 12,000 of its soldiers to repel a foreign aggression in Portugal, approve of the Con stitution established in that country. It was, how ever, the duty of England then, as it is the duty of France now, to give to an ally the support guaranteed by treaty. A French force would go into Spain—not to interfere in the internal affairs of the country—not to support or oppose the Constitution of 1812—but to assist in establishing the Government of the Queen. We feel well assured that the longer this event is post poned, the more difficult it becomes to effect it upon such terms as may prevent Spain from becoming a terror to the limited monarchy of France—a still greater terror to Austrian despotism in Italy. _____ Jam proximus ardet Ucalegon. —Morning Chronicle. We are yet without an answer to the exposure we have made of the villainy and the absurd'Atyofwh the what is called " Peerage Reform."

Thus " the only MorninghardiypossMiblineitsoteeroianleepirvienta" admits to us, that body worse adapted for legislation than the House of Coranons ;" and we are told by this print, that " be fore the union with Ireland, the House of Commons was far too numerous, and that a hundred additional Members could not improve it ;" that the " Reform in the representation has filled the House of Commons with .speakers, and that there is, in consequence, such an excess of discussi on , that there i s no ti me f or an y thing e l se ;" t h at " the House of Commons, besides, arrogates too much to itself—bills are considered in de tail, in committees of the whole House, that is in a ,nob, and fo r th e sake of fees to clerks a nd other dicers. What a description of the House of Commons, and fronx what a quarter ! Yet it is gravely proposed that a gam majority of such a vain,foolish, inefficient, and unwieldy body shall dictate to the King, and to the House of Lords, and be allowed to visit the unhappy people with the full infliction of their uncorrected senselessness ! tha N t e if " r l efo vy r .e m g b o e and further,of e e e i r d uncontrolled i s c i t o o u s s o h e o s : wanted, it is in the House of Commons, not in th e House of Lords ? We are told, indeed, by this same print, that " we confound a House of Lords with the House of Lords as now constituted." We have done no such thing. On the contrary we have sup posed that instead of the present House of Lords, any House of Lords were suffered to exist. We have, for the sake of the argument, given unlimited license to the Peerage Reformers, and upon the supposition Coat they have availed themselves of that license, and upon. no other supposition, have we argued the question. Would they create new Peers—or would they make the Lords an elective body ? In either case it must be obvious to every one, that the majority of the Lords would be as the minority of the Com mons arc now —composed of the same sort of men, and adhering, inflexibly, to the same opinions ? What would the Commons gain by this, in the ad vancement of the unconstitutional usurpation which they are attempting—which the Ministres encour age them in, and which the Ministerial organs back 'them in, even to " the whole hog ?'' Nothing, clearly Tio.. thing. There must, therefore, as we said at first be another reform, and another, and another, if •tilese
